North
Carolina
A&T
State
University
finds a
total
security
solution
with
CBORD®
 Ithaca,
New York:
When
North
Carolina
Agricultural
and
Technical
State
University
wanted
to curb
crime
and
provide
a higher
level of
security,
it
turned
to CS
Gold®
from
CBORD®
for a
solution.
Even
though
it had
no major
security
problems
or
threats,
the
university
wanted
to take
a
proactive,
instead
of
reactive,
approach.
North
Carolina
A&T
State
University
chose to
install
an
electronic
system
consisting
of a
centralized
monitoring
station
with six
digital
video
recorders
(DVR)
networked
to 57
cameras
located
throughout
the
campus.
The
system
provided
dividends
within
weeks,
when a
hit-and-run
was
observed.
Now,
when a
crime
happens
in a
camera’s
field of
view,
the
24-hour,
real-time
monitoring
greatly
enhances
the
police
department’s
chances
of
apprehending
suspects.
The
university
sees
three
key
benefits
from the
CBORD
system.
First,
it
provides
the
campus
with a
sense of
security—monitored
areas
make
students,
guests,
and
staff
members
feel
safe.
Second,
monitoring
strengthens
campus
police
operations.
If a
crime is
committed
at a
monitored
location,
police
can
review
the
video to
assist
in
identifying
the
perpetrator
and
prevent
future
criminal
activity.
Third,
having a
state-of-the-art
security
system
attracts
new
enrollment.
North
Carolina
A&T
State
University
has been
steadily
expanding
its use
of CS
Gold
since
its
implementation.
Within
calendar
year
2006
alone,
the
school
has
plans in
place to
increase
the
number
of
cameras
on its
campus
to over
200.
“This
system
really
gives us
an edge,
so much
so that
we are
continually
expanding
it,”
says
John
Matherson,
Director
of North
Carolina
A&T
State
University’s
campus
card
office.
“The
system
provides
the
visual
assistance
we need,
and is
integrated
into our
card
system.
We
couldn’t
ask for
an
easier,
more
effective
solution.”
